“You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”
Lennon/McCartney

G        Dsus4    Fadd9    C    G
Here I stand,     head      in    hand,
C                             Fadd9     C
Turn my face to the wall.
G         Dsus4   Fadd9    C    G
If she’s gone,  I can’t       go   on,
C                        Fadd9     C     D
Feeling two foot small…

Ev’rywhere people stare,
Each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me,
And I hear them say:

G                          C                       Dsus4     D     Dsus2     D
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.

How can I even try?
I can never win.
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I’m in…

How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather round, all you clowns,
Let me hear you say:

Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.

(Flute solo over verse chords) x2, end on G

Our life together is so precious together.

We have grown,  we have grown

Let’s take a chance and fly away
    Dm      A
somewhere alone.

It’s been too long since we took the time.
   Aaug                                 Bm      E
No-one’s to blame, I know time flies so quickly
Bm                 E
but when I see you darling

it’s like we both are falling in love again.
      E                     A    Aaug          A     Aaug
It’ll be just like starting over,     starting over.
Everyday we used to make it love.
Why can’t we be making love nice and easy?
It’s time to spread our wings and fly.
Don’t let another day go by my love,
it’ll be just like starting over, starting over.
G                      Am
Why don’t we take off alone,
D                     G
take a trip somewhere far, far away.
Em                       Am
We’ll be together on our own again
D                      G
like we used to in the early days,
E7
well, well darling.
It’s been too long since we took the time.
No-one’s to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It’s like we both are falling in love again.
It’ll be just like starting over,     starting over.

“That Was the Day” by Jim Fusco (Chords & Lyrics) – Ask the Musician

By Jim Fusco:

My new friend Dianne on Facebook asked me a while ago for the chords to my “classic” song, “That Was the Day” off of the “That’s All Jim” album.  I remember coming up with this song oh so long ago about my future wife, Becky.  Little did I know that we’d get married seven years later…

Anyway, I’m so happy to have a fan in Dianne and I finally get to post the chords and lyrics for all to see.  I hope you enjoy!  Don’t know how the song goes?  Check out my YouTube acoustic video below the chords.

That Was the Day
Written by Jim Fusco

Dm            Em            F            D            G            (All on barre chords)

G                                                        Dm7
I remember the day a great man told me
Am7            D            G
The perfect girl             did not exist.
G                                             Dm7
I said that if I should ever find her,
Am7       D                 G
I knew that I            would not resist.

Dm7            Am7                                  Dm7                      G
That was the day I             met you; that was the day you stole my heart.
Dm7            Am7                                  Dm7                         G
That was the day I            met you; you were the one right from the start.
Dm7            C                                        Dm7                         G
And that was the day I             met you; when I found out that you were true.
Dm7            Am7                                Dm7                  G
That was the day I             met you; then I knew what I should do.

Right up to that day, my heart was hurting,
I never knew you’d come around.
I almost gave up all of my searching,
Right before you turned around.

CHORUS

(Instrumental break- all on barre chords)
Dm            Em            6x
F            D
Dm            Em            8x
F            D            G

CHORUS 2x

Dm            Em            6x
F            D            G
